[Segami]

Before watching the video below, be forewarned that it is extremely graphic and contains very loud profanity.

These type of criminal shootings are becoming the norm....when will justice prevail?.........

In extremely graphic footage uploaded to Facebook on Sunday, an LAPD police officer fired his weapon five times, killing a man who was reportedly homeless. According to the LA Times, officers were responding to a report of an altercation at a homeless encampment on a downtown street this morning.


In the video, originally uploaded by a man named Anthony Blackburn, officers can be seen wrestling with a group of homeless people, with two officers dropping their batons while tackling a woman. After one one woman picks up an officer’s dropped baton — with the officer shouting “You have my baton” — another officer can be heard yelling repeatedly, “He’s going for my gun!”


Five shots follow, with the man filming the incident repeatedly cursing before saying, “They just killed that man! Just shot that motherf*cking man like that.” According to the Times, the fallen man seen on the ground with officers standing over him was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

4. Local Terrorists

We don't have to worry about terrorists coming from other countries to kill innocent citizens. They are already here. They are called the “POLICE”

5. It looks like the powers that be

are asking for a revolution. They're relentless and won't stop killing innocent people. The only thing that fucking pig that murdered that homeless man is going to get is a paid vacation out of this. FUCK!

6. SEEMS like too many

cops executing people. This is starting to look like its going to be a JUDGE DREDD kinda world, where the cop is the Judge, Jury and Executioner.

9. I think the point is lost on these jackasses

that Dredd isn't a 'Hero' by any means, and not to be emulated.

7. “He’s going for my gun!”

I can't tell one way or the other in the video. If he did try to take the officer's gun, it was a terminally stupid move on his part. If he did NOT try to take the officer's gun, the officer murdered him.

8. I hope the video can be analyzed to determine one way or the other.

I swear police departments must have suddenly decided to hire only people afraid of their own shadows when a pack of big officers can't arrest a tasered homeless guy without firing a shot.

10. I hope so, too. n/t

11. "He's going for my gun" means "Shoot this muthafucka"

Do it now.
